Nikki, I’ve just strayed onto your web site from Time Goes By. I like your writing very much. I’d be interested to know more about your book. “Moral Authority.” Sounds interesting. Perhaps you’ve written about it before but I’ve missed it.
welcome and I’ve addressed your question on the main page under the “Marketing 101” post…
Love your style, Nikki. Funny, smart and thought provoking.
Hi Nikki… Great reads! I often wonder how you’re doing…especially at this time of year. Now that I’ve found your site, I’ll tune in frequently. Good luck with the book.
How about doing a story on Cavachons or how a designer mutt can change your life.
they can, can’t they? I’m about to publish my stories elsewhere on the Internet and will let you all know
I thought the Sit/ Stay artical was cute. We love our two boys and are so glad we got them.

Dearest Nikki,
I can not wait to read your book! I received an email from PT and your brother n law David. I immediately googled to find out more about your writings and quickly ordered a copy!
I too, lost my husband on 9/11 on flt 11. I have an 8 year old son now and moved from Los Angeles back to Michigan to be near my family.
Finally! Something worth while to read and contemplate. I also look forward to spending time on your website and blogs.
Very best wishes,
Kia
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Just watched your piece on Sunday Morning. Well said. Soooo many people want to lash out at a religon and their followers for the actions of a few Islamic terrorists. Reminds me of how the government reacted to Pearl Harbor by setting up concentration camps for Japanese-Americans!
Again, Thank you.
